I believe it should fail anyhow during realize because both macio 
devices (newworld and oldworld) requires an object link to the PIC which 
won't be set when using device_add via the monitor as in your example.

But it still doesn't quite feel right that just setting a property value 
should abort() immediately. Daniel, any thoughts?
